Straw into gold

I wonder if you sleep right now
Do you realize I´m clinging to
The edge of this bed I have
Nowhere to go--I have nowhere
If I leave you´ll call me quitter
If I stay you´ll punish me with silence and somehow
You´ll fall asleep...You´ll fall asleep
Well do you know that I won´t sleep--No I won´t sleep all night
Long
As your silhouette turns its back on my spoon
I´m mesmerized by the ricochet moon
Leaping this leprechaun´s ["Rumplestiltskin´s" in next chorus] wall
I´m so disenchanting
Intoxicated by my own tear´s soul
And come tomorrow
When my beauty is old
Like a speckled princess
I´ll try to cash in clovers for gold
So I´ll light a candle and begin to
Write, turn to my work as refuge
Though my womb is a rush hour taxi
Ride, but I will try
To metamorphose pain along my plight
But I´ll despise each word I write
So I am clinging to the
Edge like some soap-opera star
With her ten second fade
As the light cascades
Do you love me anymore?
I´ll try to spin straw into gold
Straw into gold...Straw into gold...Straw into gold
Spinning for mercy
Spinning for hope
Spinning for love
Spinning for gold
Do you realize I´m clinging to
The edge of this bed I have
Nowhere to go--I have nowhere
If I leave you´ll call me quitter
If I stay you´ll punish me with silence and somehow
You´ll fall asleep...You´ll fall asleep
Well do you know that I won´t sleep--No I won´t sleep all night
Long
As your silhouette turns its back on my spoon
I´m mesmerized by the ricochet moon
Leaping this leprechaun´s ["Rumplestiltskin´s" in next chorus] wall
I´m so disenchanting
Intoxicated by my own tear´s soul
And come tomorrow
When my beauty is old
Like a speckled princess
I´ll try to cash in clovers for gold
So I´ll light a candle and begin to
Write, turn to my work as refuge
Though my womb is a rush hour taxi
Ride, but I will try
To metamorphose pain along my plight
But I´ll despise each word I write
So I am clinging to the
Edge like some soap-opera star
With her ten second fade
As the light cascades
Do you love me anymore?
I´ll try to spin straw into gold
Straw into gold...Straw into gold...Straw into gold
Spinning for mercy
Spinning for hope
Spinning for love
Spinning for gold
